Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Ally!

I am an accredited practising Women’s Health Dietitian and Nutritionist (APD), proud Wiradjuri woman, mother to a beautiful little girl and the founder of Kynd Nutrition Co. I founded Kynd Nutrition Co. to provide women with unconditional support and evidenced based nutrition on all things fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG).

During my pregnancy I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum. Lack of support and speciality in this area lead to so much anxiety and unwanted stress throughout my pregnancy. As you can imagine being a dietitian I thought I was going to be in full control of my nutrition when in reality I had zero control. My days consisted of laying horizontal, with a bucket nestled beside my head. As a result of HG, I lost more than 10% of my body weight. Thankfully my daughter was born thriving. As for me, my focus is on replenishing my body, mind and nutrient stores.

After my daughter was born, I knew I wanted to help other women navigate the challenges of pregnancy. It can be really frustrating and lonely when your ability to eat, drink and socialise is impacted. I will be the first to say that pregnancy for me wasn’t glamorous or enjoyable. I spent ten months in a constant state of fear and depression. If you are reading this and nodding your head or thinking ‘me too’, I want you to know that you're not alone. I've walked a similar path and can empathise with the difficulties you may be facing. Whether it's sharing coping strategies, offering a listening ear, or providing encouragement, please know I am committed to helping YOU and your baby.

Your pregnancy needs are unique and I can assure you no two pregnancies are the same. By working with me, you will receive ongoing personalised dietary and supplement strategies that are specific to your individual needs. Let's work together to create a happy and healthy mum and baby.
